Iroha is an excellent melee damage dealer who generates TP quickly and uses it for devastating weapon skills. Her Meditate ability means she fires off weapon skills more frequently than most trusts. She is one of the strongest DD trusts available and works well in virtually any party composition. Her upgraded version, Iroha II, is even more powerful.
